Monster Hunter World: How to get the Impact Mantle and Apothecary Mantle

If you’re willing to put in a little extra work, Monster Hunter World is full of powerful hidden items that bring a whole new dynamic to your hunts. Most of these are crafted from rare materials, but some come ready made. Here’s where to find the Impact Mantle and Apothecary Mantle.

Where to find the Impact Mantle:

The Impact Mantle is an exceptionally useful item that – when you equip it at the right time – can totally change the tide of battle. Essentially, it makes monsters more likely to fall over, which if you’re trying to break specific parts, or just need to land a few big hits on a tough opponent, is a massive boon.

The Impact Mantle achieves this by increasing the effect of impact weapons like the Charge Blade, Hammer and Hunting Horns, but also adds the stun effect to weapons that don’t normally have it, like Dual Blades. This means that you can create crazy powerful combinations with things like the Impact Mantle and the Demon Dance Dual Blade special.

To get the Impact Mantle, you’ll have to complete the nine star quest “Showdown: the Muck and the Maul”, which you get by speaking to the Armory NPC.
